British-Nigerian actress, Laura Lake Adebisi, expressed her opinion that Nigeria should not have been a country due to the significant ideological differences between the North and South.
In a viral video, she criticized the British government for supporting the Nigerian government in preventing Biafra’s secession and accused them of enabling the exploitation of the country.
Adebisi said, “The footprints of colonialism are over Nigeria. Nigeria should have never been a country! The difference in ideology from the northern side to the southern side is insane.
“When the Eastern side tried to secede and form Biafra, the ex-colonialists [Britain] were like, no, we don’t want that. So they instead empower Nigeria to crush that country.
“They were like, we want you guys to stay like this so we can continue to pillage and take all of your resources.
“So the footprints of colonialism are still all over Nigeria. It’s in the shape of the country. It’s on the map.”
